Can someone please help me with these questions? I have noo idea about them! Identify the function of the relative pronoun in the adjective clause. 1.The game was designed by Zack, who studies computer programming. 2.We all enjoyed the play that you wrote. How can I find the relative pronoun in these sentences? Can someone show me how to answer them? Thanks!! -MC

  Relative pronouns are those pronouns that introduce a subordinate clause. This is an excellent site for learning about them. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/645/01/ In the first sentence, the pronoun WHO is the subject of the verb STUDIES. In the second sentence, the pronoun THAT is the object of the verb WROTE.

  So the answer for #1 is subject and #2 is direct object? -MC
